Hosseini's characters have trouble integrating their memories, sense of identities, and aspects of consciousness into a unified whole at a psychological level. Not having a strong sense of self or struggling with identity issues may lead to depression, anxiety, psychological and physical health problems.

Seemingly, characters in Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner are obsessed with a specific time in their lives, their childhood, and the memories of the troubled past have led them to determine the fate of their present identities.
